How severe is CVE-2026-64225?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-64225 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-64225?

CVE-2026-64225 affects the following packages: Kernel (Linux). Ecosystems affected: Linux.

How do I fix CVE-2026-64225?

Update Kernel to 5.10.259 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-64225 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-64225 in my Linux dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Kernel. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-64225 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-64225?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-64225 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-64225 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-64225 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was CVE-2026-64225 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-64225 was published on July 24, 2026 and was last updated on August 1, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Linux packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

octeontx2-af: CGX: add bounds check to cgx_speed_mbps index

cgx_speed_mbps has 13 elements but RESP_LINKSTAT_SPEED can yield values 0-15. If it returns a value >= 13, this causes an out-of-bounds array access. Add a bounds check and default to speed 0 if the index is out of range.
